McGIBENY FAMILY.

Alcazar Theatre:-The McGibeny family,
consisting of fifteen members, ali more or
less musical, made its first appearance
here last night before an audience that
filled the house. The program presented
introduced the family as an orchestra, as
a band, as instrumental coloists, as singers,
and as comedians of a mild type. OF the
solo selections the best was a cornet fan
tasa, played with good deal of dexterity
h. Frank McGibeny. and the second Noe
turne OF Ernst played Oh the violin by Mr.
Hugh who displayed very promising
technique with much feeling. The orches-
ira was remarkable. when the family de-
voted itself to brass it became band that
could furnish some really inspiring muatc
Nothing was amateurist or slipshod and
altogether, especially when it is known
that the performers run from McGibeny
pere, down to tot of four years old, the
entertainment may be considered one of
unusual merit.-Daily Chronicle.

He Didn't Mind 1t.

A caravan was crossing the desert.
The white sand glistened in the radi-
ant heat of the MONDAY sun. An
American was seated on the back of
one of the foremost camels, tanning
himself with straw hat. His collar
was unbuttoned and the ends of his
white tie hung limp, while drops OF
perspiration trickled down his face
and neck and mingled in his shirt
front. Suddenly the dusky native
seated upon the leading camel
uttered cry Of alarm, and
pointed excitedly toward the
horizon, where great cloud was seen
bearing down upon them. Deadly
fear and deep CONSERVATION soon
seized upon all of the travellers except
ing the American, who simply put on
his hat, put his coat on his arm and
prepared to dismount. While the
Arabs, in great hurry and confusion.
were endeavoring to bring together the
struggling caravan, and showing in
every action that they feared COM
plete destruction from that fearful
sandstorm, the American remarking
that he guessed he wouldn't wait,
started afoot.
Soon the sand was flying about him,
cutting his face, filling his eyes and
nostrils, and enveloping him in cloud
so dense that it would have been i'm
possible to see even if he dared to open
his eyes. But he trudged along as
one who had safely passed through
such ordeals before and had no fear.
Toward evening he reached an oasis
where one of the Lelands kept a first
class hotel, and, as he registered, cd.
Whitney, Brooklyn, N. "" he re-
marked that it was windy day
